Detective Reid Sanders doesn’t believe in the
supernatural, but when he’s faced with a crime scene that defies the laws of
nature, he has no other choice but to start believing. And solving a magical
murder involves working with a witch.

Liberty Sawyer embodies the look of your classic evil
witch, so, it’s no surprise when she uncovers the murderer is a witch that she
becomes Reid’s number one suspect. If she can’t convince him otherwise, more
people could lose their lives to dark magic, including her.

Since the A to Z Challenge brought new readers to my blog, I decided to do a fun post for everyone to get to know me a little more. :)

Here are 20 random facts about me:

1.I
don’t usually listen to rap, but I can rap all the words to Eminem’s song “Lose
Yourself.”

2.In
tenth grade, I rewrote the Declaration of Independence for a contest. I won
first place in my school and third in the district.

3.I
don’t drive and have never owned a drivers license.

4.I
once dyed my hair black. (I was a teenager and stupid.)

5.I
donated 14 inches of hair to Locks of Love in 2013.

6.When
I was fifteen I had spine surgery to correct scoliosis. Now I have a metal rod,
screws, and fusion in my back.

7.Autumn
is my favorite season and Halloween is my favorite holiday.

8.When
I was younger, I dressed up like a pimp for Halloween. I drew a beard and
uni-brow on my face with eyeliner and wore my brother’s clothes. My friends
called me Christopher all night.

9.I am
a vegetarian. (Seven years now.)

10.I dabble in jewelry making.

11.Neon
green is my favorite color.

12.I
have a dragonfly tattoo on my arm.

13.At
the age of twelve, I stared writing a series of books that I later rewrote when
I was seventeen. This is the supernatural-thriller series that I plan to publish
someday. Avrianna Heavenborn from Ghost of Death stars in this series.

These are some fun facts. I also dyed my hair black in high school and was stuck with black hair for 2 years. Punk rock, I guess, but yeah...stupid!!! I didn't get a drivers license until I was 26 and really don't drive at all anymore.

That was sad about your grandmother. So are you a duel citizen with Japan? Hubby's brother was born in NewFoundland so he had duel citizenship with Canada until he registered for the draft here and then I think he had to choose between the two.

My son eats pizza with ranch dressing :)

A random fact about me.........my two least favorite chores are folding clothes and unstacking the dishwasher.

Where creativity is concerned, you're a bit of an all rounder - writing, rapping, jewelry making, fashion designing. You'll probably get round to dabbling in other creative ventures too. They say that creative types are creative in more ways than one... whether you realise it or have yet to discover it.

Two random facts? I live along the coast, two minutes from the sea, and we have the perfect 'beach' climate (subtropical humidity most of the year), yet I cannot swim. I know I've mentioned it before...(That was more than two? Means I've overstayed my welcome... LOL) Congrats on the new release!

Wow! Love the cover of "Witch of Death" and the blurb is indeed enticing :-) Congrats! Your random facts are terrific, can't say I was surprised by any one of them other than driving, really? How do you get around? Let's see, two of my brothers were born on Okinawa and I collect wishnicks. I, too, would love to read your rendition of the Declaration of Independence and Bless your heart for doing Locks of Love!Oh, your Great Kitty Rescue made me miss having one or three :-)

I don't like rap anymore, but I spent my last year of middle school listening to only gangster rap. That was an embarrassing time, hahaI too do not have a driver's license! I'm terrified to drive, but I really need to get it done because it's also starting to drive me crazy/make me feel lame that I have to rely on others to get me to far places. Plus, it'd be easier to get some things done while the kiddo is at school, but I never have rides then.I'm growing my hair out for locks of love. :) Never dyed my hair black, but I have dyed it florescent red hahaAutumn and spring are my favorite seasons, Halloween and Thanksgiving my favorite holidays (for food, obviously). I have two tattoos! One's my kiddos initials with a jellyfish and the other is just a heart w/lock and key tribal design.I wish I knew how to do anything well besides write. I've dabbled in jewelry making, painting, clothing design, scrap booking - but I have no design eye, I guess.1) I have serious temper issues. Shortest fuse in the world.2) Non-religious.

I am glad I'm not the only one and I know there are more out there like us who don't drive because we have a phobia of sorts about driving. I try to explain it but people just don't understand. I feel the same way about feeling lame sometimes and wanting to get my drivers license but don't know if I'll get over it.

I am currently growing my hair out for Lock of Love to donate one last time. It's such an honor. :)

A jellyfish tattoo sounds cute.

My temper can be pretty short too. And although I grew up Christian, I sort of have a belief system that involves all religions. I don't think any one is wrong.

I didn't learn to drive till I was 25, and didn't have a car till I was almost 27. Growing up, I thought I'd learn to drive at 16, and get a car for my birthday, since that was how it always happened in the movies and on TV. I was so ridiculously naïve.

I've grown my hair out for donation thrice, the last two times for Zichron Menachem. I heard some disturbing things about how Locks of Love uses a fair bit of their hair for women's vanity wigs and extensions instead of wigs for kids with cancer, so I looked into something else.

I think I've reconciled the traditional prohibition against tattoos with the modern-day Responsa explaining today's tattoos don't have anything in common with the admonition in Leviticus to not gash your flesh for the dead. All the same, I'd have to get them in places my Orthodox friends couldn't see. It would mean so much to me to be tattooed with the words "all things must pass" and "be here now." Even better, since I have George Harrison's memoir I Me Mine, with many photocopies of his handwritten lyrics, I'd be able to get them in his own handwriting. "Be Here Now" isn't one of the songs included, but the three words appear in his other songs, so I'd still be able to use his handwriting.

Thanks for sharing "you" with us. I don't know how you get along without a car. I'd be stuck at home, no one to drive me anywhere.I'm afraid of fires, too, and my husband was a firefighter. I watched my neighbor's house burn to the ground, and a wildfire came very close to our home in the country before it was put out.How wonderful that you donated your hair. Random Fact: When I was little I loved to go to football games with my dad. He watched the game. I watched the majorettes with the band. I wanted to be a majorette when I grew up, and I was, in Junior High and High School. Dreams do come true.

Thanks for sharing your random facts. We're the same for #3. I don't drive but I do have a learner's permit (and I still don't drive). That'll have to change soon though. And as for random facts about me:

1) I love watching 80's movies especially starring the teen brat pack of molly ringwald and john cusack. Even the sci-fi/fantasy movies of Willow and Weird Science

2) I can't stand zombie movies. Actually afraid of them and if I do happen to watch one, I end up having nightmares where I'm chased by zombies. And it always ends with me not getting away. Weird thing is it never bothered me when I was young as Night of the Living Dead movies were my favorite movies.

3) I used to wish I was a twin because of my zodiac sign. And because I loved reading the Sweet Valley High book series.

Wow, those are some facts! I do love the jewelry, and I make some too (time permitting).

I used to dye my hair platinum blond - loved it. Then I developed psoriasis, and the medication turned it chocolate brown. My scalp finally cleaned and now my hair is naturally platinum blond. How strange is that? I no longer dye it.

I learned some new things about you, Chrys. I forgot you love to sketch fashion and the jewelry making. That is so fun! Baseball was my first team sport I played as a child and I fell in love with it! I still love the sound of a ball game and the feel of a wooden baseball bat in my hands. I also love movies about writers!

Fun facts about you! Thanks for sharing. If we still lived in our old community in Maryland, I might not have my driver's license, either. There, the bus system was terrific, and I was within walking distance of the grocery store and a lot of other things. (Of course, back then, I thought just about everyplace was within "walking distance.") When we moved to Georgia in '71, I had no choice but to get my license and a car. With a hubby who traveled, a young child, and all lots and lots of miles to get to anything, I had to be able to get where I needed to go on my own.

My daughter has donated a foot of hair several times, too. Such a wonderful thing for you to do.

Wow, we have a lot in common! I've collected Nutcrackers for years (my birthday is right before X-Mas and my family goes to the Nutcracker Ballet every year to celebrate). I'm scared of fired because my grandfather died in the MGM Grand fire in 1980 (I'm so sorry you were traumatized by one too). I love locks of love and donate every few years, and even though I don't listen to a lot of rap either, I know all the words to that song (and a few other Eminem songs) as well!

Wow, fascinating stuff about you. I commend you for donating your hair and for your rescue of the cats. I had a great aunt that would donate her hair. And all my cats are rescues except one who found us as a kitten.

HOW can you not have a driver's license and never drive? I'd be lost without that independence even though a lot of the time my car is out of gas so I have to stay home.

I have one nutcraker ornament my little sister gave me one year for Xmas.

Have you watched the TV show Castle? It's about a writer. I love it!

I also dabble in jewelry making and drawing fashions and have done that for years. I make most of my own clothes and jewelry. I have a scrapbook that goes back years with my designs. They're fun to look at today. When we were growing up, I drew paper dolls with complete wardrobes for my sisters and I.

I was a vegetarian for the three months I had hepatitis years ago, but that would never work in my house. I could do it on my own but not with hubby who has to have meat.

I adore those elephant earrings! Congrats on having 2 new books out!! I love the supernatural in books!! You might want to join the "Your favorite Vacation Spot" blog hop for May 30-31. That would bring new readers and authors (including bestselling author Melanie Karsak) to your blog to hear about your favorite vacay spot -- and to see your two great new releases! (Rules and linky on my blog -- I'd love to hear about your favorite vacation spot!)

I used to draw fashion designs all the time, but that was years ago. Lovely jewelry. That was another hobby I dropped...makes me wonder what happened to all my hobbies. It was great reading more about you.

Congratulations on the book release-it must be exciting. I love your jewelry! The necklace is so pretty and love the earrings. I lived in the country so we had to learn to drive. If I lived in a big city or in Europe, I wouldn't own a car. You are savings tons in money due to not buying gas, having car insurance or the dreaded car repairs. I could never be a vegetarian-I love my meat.I guess I am a cave woman all the way except I left my fur bikini at home. I love classical music, fairy tales, film, reading and animals. We have 4 cats and 1 dog-all rescues. I have an extreme phobic fear of heights and I suffer from Ehlers-Danlos-Hypermobility so pain is a chronic thing.

Chrys, I just came from Lidy's. I'm sorry to learn you'd lost your mom when you were two. I laughed when I got to the part about dressing up as a pimp. And yea, I sort of guessed that neon green is your favourite colour. I knew about the tattoo, though I didn't know that you've been writing since you were twelve! :)
